Songs & Stories Podcast
All we ever do is make music, talk shit, and do fun things that lead to good stories. That's what the Emery culture is about. We love telling you band stories and even more, we love convincing your favorite artists to tell their stories... even the ones they probably shouldn't.
Join us each week to hear amazing stories from the road, Song Rescue (where we roast and improve listeners songs), the Damn News, and more!
This podcast and our music is supported and funded directly by Emeryland. Join us at emerymusic.com

#391 Rejecting Knowledge from Authority
Matt brings a science segment with an explanation of what good reasoning is and why we should reject knowledge from authority. This relates to everything from Joey learning how to use new recording equipment to our understanding of God. Also Toby is annoyed with people thanking God for stopping worse things from happening after something terrible happened, and Joey apparently shat himself during the recording of this episode.

#386 Brian McLaren Drops in to Drop Truth (or Heretical) Bombs
Author, Speaker, Activist, and former Pastor, Brian McLaren talks about the changing theological culture of American Christianity. Religious leaders have less control now that their followers have unlimited access to other thought-leaders online, muddying the waters of religion. This episode covers a lot of deconstructive territory, from traditional dualistic lenses, to what Christians believe about LGBTQ, and trying to convert people from other religions.
